In ancient times – ha ha – that is why they made yogurt and sauerkraut – and the chinese and japanese have been doing all kinds of pickled vegetables, traditionally as part of their diets, for centuries.

Yes – we do need probiotics in our diet – just remember that our diets are important and pills can get lodged in your digestive
tract !
For instance being mostly vegan a few years back – it was a dare – someone gave me – to eat a hot – dog – we had to !

- There we were in New York, and we were right in front of the statue of liberty -

What could be more american – than to buy and eat a Hot dog – ?

“Scary” i said -( as we know what the wise man said -when he was asked – by the hot dog vendor – what he could do for him.. – all the wise man could say to him was – “Make me One with everything ! ” But -my answer – was -Ok – I will only eat the hot dog – but, only with lots of sauerkraut !!!

We both ate hot dogs – She ate her hot dog with NO sauerkraut – and I had the hot dog vendor – make me ONE with everything – … er… well. with only lots of sauerkraut – i didn’t get sick – but – she was not a happy camper with how her digestive system reacted to her hot dog with out sauerkraut !
